Lewis Study Program  \nStudy Guide  \nHow to Use This Study Guide  \nNo matter how new or familiar you are with The Screwtape Letters, this study guide and lecture series will be helpful. It is designed to open up the Letters for you, highlighting the central themes and underlying issues, leading to a clear grasp ofC.S. Lewis’s insights into how the forces of evil work against human beings.  \nStep One: Understanding  \nThis study guide and the accompanying lectures are designed to be used in a complimentary fashion. While its brevity makes it easily read, The Screwtape Letters is not easily digested. Each person in the group should work through the study questions for each section of the Letters before viewing the corresponding lectures. In order to utilize the study questions, you will find it helpful to number the paragraphs in each letter as the study questions will make reference to them. You can download additional copies of this study guide at [www.cslewisinstitute.org](www.cslewisinstitute.org).  \nStep Two: Discussing The Screwtape Letters  \nHaving gained a detailed understanding of The Screwtape Letters, the lectures will give you the bigger picture and provide background and emphasis to illuminate Lewis’s thoughts. We trust that the lectures also will pull together insights that have not yet become clear to you.  \nWhen your group meets to discuss the book, view the appropriate lectures on DVD, each of which is approximately thirty-five minutes long. Then use the study questions you’ve previously worked through individually to facilitate discussion.  \nThe Message of The Screwtape Letters  \nThe Screwtape Letters is a very important book for our times. In our secularized and materialistic society, even Christians have little awareness of the spiritual side of reality.  \nBy means of an imaginary correspondence between a senior tempter, Screwtape, and a junior devil, Wormwood, C.S. Lewis gives us penetrating insights into how the unseen powers of evil work to ensnare and destroy those who seek to follow Christ.  \nFor Lewis, it is not so much that we must be delivered from demons that possess and control us; it is that we are constantly and quietly influenced by them. The demons are eager to corrupt and pollute, dissuading godly choices which cultivate faith and virtue. And Christians are not immune; indeed they are the primary target. In his famous sermon,“The Weight of Glory,” Lewis noted that there are no ordinary people; we are all becoming either eternal wonders or eternal horrors. Similarly, the Letters show that there are no ordinary actions. It is a battle all the way from here to heaven.  \nSome have noted that reading the Letters is not a pleasant experience. Indeed, it is difficult to discover how tainted and corrupted we truly are. But such self-knowledge is essential to spiritual growth and maturity. The Lord’s Prayer will take on new meaning and greater urgency, as we cry,“Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.”  \n© 2010 The C. .S Lewis Institute C. .S Lewis Study Program | The Screwtape Letters Study Guide   \nStudy Questionsfor The Screwtape Letters  \nLetter 1  \n1. Screwtape affirms Wormwood for encouraging his patient’s association with a “materialist” friend, ¶ 1. How would a preoccupation with the physical side of reality and ignorance of the spiritual be foundational for diabolical strategy?  \n2. How did Screwtape use what he called the “pressures ofthe ordinary,” ¶ 3, and the familiar, ¶ 4, to “rescue” him from the influence of the Enemy?  \n3. In what ways do you think the pressures ofthe “ordinary” make you susceptible to diabolical influence?  \n4. What do you learn about the diabolical and the divine when it comes to the value of both argument, ¶ 2, and science, ¶ 4?  \n5. What did you learn about the nature of both divine and diabolical strategies that is new or surprising to you?  \nLetter 2  \n1. It appears that the church is the number-one tool for temptation.
